Thanks for your kind words about the PMLA piece, Kathryn! Congrats on your fellowship–the description on the faculty fellows page is very intriguing. I’d love to hear more about your project, so please do get in touch!

Apologies for the late reply–somehow I missed the notification for it.  And, yes, I’d love to hear what others have been reading, writing, watching, listening to, etc…

Hi all! I’m looking forward to refreshing my Commons presence this week. Despite working on some aspect of Humanities Commons almost every weekday, my own profile had gotten somewhat outdated. I’ve added some recent publications and reworked my “about” statement slightly.

I’ve followed a few new people as well. I want to highlight one of the tips included on the Networking & Following Other Accounts post: homepage recommendations. If you’re logged in and you’ve filled in the academic interests section of your profile, you’ll see members in the “Recommended for You” section of the homepage who share your interests. (Also on profiles, academic interests are links. Clicking on them is another way to see members who share that interest.)

I’d be interested to hear who else might be out there playing along this week, and how you’re finding it! I’m glad to have a nudge to update my profile and (later on) deposit some things I’ve been meaning to upload to CORE.

Hi Kristen! I’ve linked Brandon Locke’s profile to that deposit. Currently, members can email hello [at] hcommons-staging.org to request additional authors’ profiles get linked to a CORE deposit. In the future, we plan to have the option for members to do this themselves! Thanks for the question.

There’s a Career Insights event on Friday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I don’t know more about it–I just happened to get an email–but I thought it may be of interest to some members of this group. It’s open to current students, according to the event info.

I noticed we have some new members. Welcome! Please feel free to introduce yourselves. I’d love to hear what people are working on.

Hi James,

We can look into this! What file types would be most useful for you? Feel free to reply here or send an email (hello at hcommons-staging.org). Apologies for the delayed reply!

Thanks, Mariana! This is fantastic. Thanks especially for the creative commons resources and sharing your slides! I love the idea of giving 10 minutes at the end for people to get started & explore.

So glad that you all are here! My own work has circled around African Americans and the Spanish Civil War. I edited a chapbook of correspondence and poems: Langston Hughes, Nancy Cunard & Louise Thompson: Poetry, Politics & Friendship in the Spanish Civil War. I’ve also written about Cunard’s SCW scrapbook, and have some writing in the works about Thyra Edwards and African American womens’ involvement in antifascist organizing.

This article doesn’t require a login: “La Guerra Civil, vista por un cuáquero inglés“

A start:

• “The digital Archive of the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist Dictatorship is an initiative of UCSD in collaboration with several Spanish civic associations, such as the ARMH (Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica), the Asociación de Ex-presos y Represaliados Políticos, the Federación Estatal de Foros por la Memoria and others.”
• LibGuide on archival collections related to the Spanish Civil War at Yale (tend to link to finding aids, not digitized materials); Beinecke’s digital collections have a number of digitized materials.
• The Spanish Civil War: Foreign Intervention and the American Reaction, digital collections at McMaster
• Archives Hub page on Spanish Civil War-related collections in the UK (links to finding aids, mostly)

Congratulations! That’s fantastic news.
